EAT THAT FROG PROCRASTINATION CURE
This phrase was coined by Brian Tracy to describe procrastination. Here is an 89-second video link that explains the frog: Eat That Frog Video
It's all very well to have procrastination explained. If you're a procrastinator, then watching the video just helped you procrastinate some more. It's the HOW to overcome it that is relevant. So here's a way to procrastinate your way into action.
My business coach Andrew Barber-Starkey is, of course, coached by other business coaches. He shared this link to a free eBook from business coach Kevin Lawrence on The Magic of Action: 15 ways to overcome procrastination and get more of what you really want.
Kevin includes 4 worksheets to get you into action. Download the worksheets. Work on one frog, the one task with the biggest Yuck factor. Hold your breath ... and swallow that frog. You can do it because others have done it. Before you know it, you'll become a frog-eating machine. Hmm, that doesn't sound very appetizing. How about you'll become a trusted authority.
And for additional inspiration, my 80-year old mother made the plunge and set up her Facebook page. She is simply delighted at how much better it is to correspond with family and friends than by e-mail. If my mom is on Facebook, and she's been procrastinating for a long time, then there's no excuse for you folks to tackle at least one big frog.
